Comedy Central’s Jordan Klepper stopped by The Daily Show: Ears Edition podcast on Monday to preview his upcoming special that claims there is a dissonance between President Trump’s campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize and his actions in cities like Portland, Oregon. As part of the sneak peek, Klepper hyped his travels to Portland, where he wandered into one of the city’s naked bike rides, which he…
MS NOW’s Rachel Maddow traveled over to CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday for a three-segment interview that concluded with her hyping her new podcast about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, which she and Colbert suggested is analogous to the present day.
Colbert set Maddow up by asking, “You have a new podcast. All right. Burn Order. It's about the…
CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed New Jersey Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill to Monday’s taping of The Late Show for some mutual back patting, where Colbert praised Sherrill’s “curb stomping” of her opponent while she portrayed him as a free speech martyr who got cancelled because of President Trump.
Colbert wondered, “Well, you sure did because you won by 56.9 percent to 42.5 percent, which is 14.4…
Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart welcomed The New Yorker staff writer Elizabeth Kolbert to Monday’s taping of The Daily Show to promote her new book and prophesy impending doom on the environment. As Kolbert tells it, all the things that have come to define civilization have contributed to this impending catastrophe, and Manhattan itself is at risk if nothing changes.
Stewart led Kolbert with a half…
On Tuesday, there was a moment of apolitical fun at the White House between President Trump’s press team and reporters as Waddle—one of the pardoned Thanksgiving turkeys—obliged a request to “give us a gobble.” Unfortunately, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel just had to ruin it by reacting, “See? Fascists have fun too.”
Kimmel opened by introducing the turkeys, “These are the birds that were spared. Their…
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins displayed some intentional obtuseness on Tuesday’s edition of The Source when she observed that the White House has not attacked Republican veterans’ rebuttal video to Democrats telling the troops to disobey illegal orders from President Trump. Despite the differences between the two videos, Collins falsely said they were “saying the same thing” about the need to follow the…
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel welcomed Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly to his Tuesday show to talk about the firestorm Kelly kicked off when he filmed a video with five other Democrats urging the military to disobey illegal orders from President Trump despite never providing an example of such an order. Naturally, Kimmel didn’t want to focus on that. Instead, the duo claimed that Trump was encouraging violence…
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! and NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers were the only late night comedy shows to tape original episodes on Monday, and both used the occasion to prove that Friday’s meeting between President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani proved that the latter isn’t the scary monster that conservatives have portrayed him as. At the same time, the duo argued the…

Former White House press secretary and current MS NOW host Jen Psaki joined former NBC and CBS anchor Katie Couric on her Substack’s video show on Wednesday to claim that the current White House press corps is becoming “Kremlin-esque.” Both Psaki and Couric were too deep in their echo chamber to realize that Psaki’s previous sentence unwittingly highlighted just how absurd the claim was.
Psaki…
